margaret_eaglecapDescription
Details: spikes gynecandrous, peri winged, and peri beak flat & ciliate-serrulate.
Specimen collected for submission to UBC.
This is a late season view from a hot year so the colour of the spikes isn't quite as white & clean as you'd usually see.

Laurentian Bulblet Fern (Cystopteris laurentiana)Observer
stevendanielDescription
New for me: Best thought.
1) Sparsely glandular rachis
2) Green when young (not red as typical bulbifera)
3) Veins terminating in sinuses and teeth
4) Phenology - fertile in mid-June, before C. bulbifera and tenuis - per Flora of Manitoulin (Morton and Venn, 2000)
5) Not toothed (as fragilis)
